EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Jaxson Dart received yet another concussion check in Saturday's 13-10 Giants preseason opening loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
The second-year quarterback fortunately cleared the protocol, returned to the game and threw a touchdown pass to rookie receiver Malachi Fields.
But it is beyond concerning that Dart's penchant for visiting the blue medical tent as a rookie bled right into his first game action since January. Even though Dart pushed back on being sent to the blue tent at all.
"As far as the blue tent," Dart said, "I really respect the rules and the thought the NFL has about keeping players healthy and reviewing things. But at the same time, I'm still puzzled by it just feeling like every time I get hit, I find my way in there, which at times I still try to wrap my head around.
"But that's all I'm gonna say about that situation," he added. "I'm really happy how the drive ended."
